The Boxster components are more restrictive than the 996 & 997 parts as the same year engines are basically identical except for the bore size & If the only variable is bore size 2 different engines should have simular peak horsepower just at different rpm. If you look at Flat6 web page for stage1 3.6 engines it shows 25hp more for the same engine installed in a 996. (chassis dyno numbers)
